I think the question was not so much about joins as how to display values from two different tables - the User Guide doesn't seem to explain this.

Here's my take:

    $this->db->select('u.*, c.company, r.description');
    $this->db->from('users u, company c, roles r');
    $this->db->where('c.id = u.id_company');
    $this->db->where('r.permissions = u.permissions');
    $query = $this->db->get();
